the playstation store is really nice, u get to dowloads a bunch of demos, get old games like PS1 games, u get to prviews for movies and much more. what else can you ask for. Internet. One of the things that swayed me to purchase the PS3 was the fact it was a Blue ray player too. i mean that alone is worth buying the PS3. game console.
I read that some people thought it was noisy, not in my case it did not have the fan noise. i mean yeah i saw pictures of it on here but its way better when its right in front of you. Basically u getting three things out of it. When i turned it on everything was easy to navigate through. get one its worth it. Alright so i just wanted to put my opinion on here about the PS3. Thank god i didn't have to buy the HDMI cable (My 47 inch had already).
So in conclusion i believe anybody whos a gamer don't matter if your just a casual or hard core gamer, a movie buff like me should get this console. I recieved it a few days ago i was impressed with the design of the console. The main menu is really nice, very easy to understand. i am a big movie guy, i like watching movies and all that. Everything was easy to set up, it took a few mintues to get the whole running.
Blue ray player. and i thought it was actually pretty good. i watched 300 on it and it don't not disappoint at all, it was redicilous thats how good it was. With my purchase of the PS3 i ordered 3 games with it, NCAA Football 09, GTA 4, Uncharted: Drakes Fortune. I immediately went on the web just to see how good it is.
I have yet to play any of them, but i am sure they won't disappoint. If you don't have one.
Way too many positives including reliability to not give the PS3 the edge over anything gaming or otherwise. The 360 always had judder because the 360 either didn't have enough juice to power the HD movies or it was taking breaks doing something else rather than dedicating all of its computing power to the movie. I can surf the net, upgrade the hard drive, play HD movies seamlessly, have a million options I can change, and game at the same time. I own a XBOX 360 elite and a Wii and will tell you that I prefer gaming on my 360 by a thin margin due to the feeling that the 360 controller feels like a tank in my hands compared to the small PS3 controller. With the PS3 upscaling of my old DVD library, it is a complete system that in my opinion outguns anything out there.
My brother has a Blu-ray drive built into his Dell tower system with enough ram to make a pixar film and Windows Vista still gives you lazy playback and tons of studder which drives me up the wall. The PS3 does everything better than the stand alone players that I've seen and toyed with. I bought the PS3 as my exclusive Blu-Ray platform after judging it with the newest players that came out in July 2008. I'll tell anyone that playing the PS3 signal on my Sony XBR4 with 120Hz motion flow and routing sound through my Onkyo TX-SR705 with 7.1 surround will make a beliver out of most audiophiles. You won't regret it. What stands out with the PS3 to me is the fact that you have a powerful processer that is dedicated to the best 1080P picture posible while decoding the highest quality audio to send to your receiver instead of bitstreaming it to boot. I always had studder in the playback of my HD-DVD drive, something that never happens in the PS3.
Sony says they will always support the PS3 with the latest Blu-ray profiles on the market. The thing that still bugs me about my 360 is that the HD-DVD player that was an add on never got the full number crunching power that the PS3 puts into its Blu-ray playback. I also know that it's just my mind, but I like the quick cut access to the games on the 360 and straight-forwardness of the menus. what I find most attractive about the PS3 is the fact that it is upgradable to the latest Blu-ray profiles and it decodes the latest audio codecs out there. Now don't get me wrong on this, but I have a higher opinion of the PS3 because of its versatility. So do yourself a favor, get a Sony XBR series LCD TV with a PS3 and don't look back or at anything else out there.
It's a serious investment that quickly proves its worth. That's a lot better than having to untangle all those cords getting all clumped together, though.If you're going to get the best of the current generation consoles make sure you have an hdtv to get the maximum benefit. A charged controller usually lasts around 24 hours of game play, and to recharge you simply plug into the usb cable. While the initial investment may seem a little higher the return from Sony is a whole lot of bang for the buck by Sony including built in wifi, self installing firm ware updates, free online gaming, built in web browser, and the still developing playstation store.
The potential is amazing. When the price of the ps3 was originally announced I remember how put off I was, but now that I actually own one I'm consistently amazed by what this machine is capable of and how much of a bargain it really is. Considering everything that the ps3 can do it's an amazing package.Considering how much a blu-ray disk can actually hold, it's only a matter of time before the 360 gets swamped. The playstation 3 is a serious console for people who are looking for the best gaming and movie experience with the latest in hdtv. It's well designed, ergonomic, and good looking. Like I said, the more I figure out what this console can do the better bargain it becomes.
Since blu-ray has obviously won the latest format wars, it made my decision pretty easy actually. The graphics are amazing. Of course if you're not careful you just may forget where you left you controller. With the 360 having monumental failure rate problems, and choosing the loosing format to support it was even easier.I actually bought my ps3 at costco in a bundle pack that included a monster hdmi cable, an extra controller, and the bluetooth remote. Sony has put together a total package that is going to be relevant for a long time to come.I almost forgot, so I'm adding this late, you can install another Operating System on PS3. The wireless controllers are a great. The PS3 is the best current generation console.
I finally finished ffvii 11 years later. Since I didn't have a ps2 I really didn't care that the ps3 40 gb version doesn't play ps2 games, but I was pleasantly surprised when I was able to play a few old ps1 games that I had laying around on my ps3. Not having a controller wire getting tangled up anymore is spectacular. I have it in a well ventilated area and I barely hear a sound. It's a true home entertainment hub, from being able to stream stuff from the net, the free online game play, it's actually an incredible bargain for everything that the ps3 is able to do. It's also a comfort to know that if I need to upgrade the hard drive to something larger I can do it myself instead of having to ship it in. So if the ps3 OS just isn't enough for you, you install linux as well.
If you're looking around at game consoles and are considering a PS3, get this one (and the HDMI cable I mentioned before, if you have an HDTV (you don't need an HDTV to play Playstation 3). I have a 720p HDTV, so I had to buy an HDMI cable also. This is well worth the money. The Blu-ray Player is awesome. It has a 40GB hard drive so you don't need a memory card, and most movie studios are releasing Blu-ray Disc.I bought the following items to go with my Playstation 3: - PlayStation 3 Wireless Sixaxis Controller - HDMI Cable 2M (6 Feet) - Sony PlayStation 3 Blu-ray Disc Remote - Grand Theft Auto IV Special Edition (1st PS3 game) - Grand Theft Auto IV Signature Series Guide (Bradygames Signature) (1st PS3 game guide) - Planet Earth - The Complete BBC Series [Blu-ray] (1st Blu-ray Disc "movie")
and then bought an Xbox 360 (RROD on the first one - replaced free). It's like buying a DVD player and getting a gaming system for free. I purchased the Playstation 3 primarily as a replacement for my HD-DVD player. I have noticed now that I am buying new games on the PS3 platform instead of the 360. I have been very happy with the system, and I do like some of the features Sony has built in such as the wireless connectivity right out of the box. I already owned an Xbox 360, but there was no question that the PS3 was a great deal when you look at buying a Bluray player. I was never a "fanboy" of the 360, but I had owned an original Xbox (no issues for me). I am now thinking that since most games come out on both systems, I can get rid of my 360 and save some space and make few hundred dollars as well.
So, I have found the Playstation3 makes me happy as both a movie buff and a gamer, and I can't ask for much more than, so if you are looking for a bluray player, the PS3 is a great buy, and if you are looking for a gaming system, the PS3 is a great buy. I went ahead and updated the system to the newest firmware as soon as it was hooked up. So, being a gamer I also bought a few used games to try out as well. That is a HUGE benefit for any device, but especially a Bluray Player since they will continue to add features, etc. I think that about sums it up :-)
